Is that entirely fair? The reverse could be claimed in that most of us haven't run a "USFIRST" before.
Also several of the challenges faced by FRC teams aren't exclusive to us. Check out who is on the BOD. Leading a team, dealing with people, handling money. They have and do run some very large organizations so I figure they've dealt with similar challenges to us before.
In addition I doubt it was only the BOD who worked to research and planed it.
Even the WFA/DL advising thing has a slight problem in that they also may represent a bias in looking at where FIRST should go vs a lot of other participants thus you may not gain much either way.
